interesting. What quality from 1941! These Pearl
Harbor photos were found in an old Brownie camera

SPECTACULAR! PEARL HARBOR December 7th,
1941   Pearl Harbor On Sunday, December 7th, 1941
the Japanese launched a surprise attack against
the U.S. Forces stationed at Pearl Harbor ,
Hawaii . By planning his attack on a Sunday, the
Japanese commander Admiral Nagumo, hoped to catch
the entire fleet in port. As luck would have it,
the Aircraft Carriers and one of the Battleships
were not in port. (The USS Enterprise was
returning from Wake Island, where it had just
delivered some aircraft. The USS Lexington was
ferrying aircraft to Midway, and the USS Saratoga
and USS Colorado were undergoing repairs in the
United States.)

In spite of the latest intelligence reports about
the missing aircraft carriers (his most important
targets), Admiral Nagumo decided to continue the
attack with his force of six carriers and 423
aircraft. At a range of 230 miles north of Oahu,
he launched the first wave of a two-wave attack.
Beginning at 0600 hours his first wave consisted
of 183 fighters and torpedo bombers which struck
at the fleet in Pearl Harbor and the airfields in
Hickam, Kaneohe and Ewa. The second strike,
launched at 0715 hours, consisted of 167
aircraft, which again struck at the same
targets. At 0753 hours the first wave consisting
of 40 Nakajima B5N2 "Kate torpedo bombers, 51
Aichi D3A1 "Val" dive bombers, 50 high altitude
bombers and 43 Zeros struck airfields and Pearl
Harbor. Within the next hour, the second wave
arrived and continued the attack. When it was
over, the U.S. losses were Casualties USA 218
